Bihar BJP to take Central schemes to people

Patna: Bihar BJP asked its workers and leaders to take the salient features of Union Budget and Central government schemes to the people to put pressure on the state government for their implementation.

"Among the several issues that the state executive committee discussed at its two day meeting, the focus was on the pro-poor, pro-village, pro-farmer Union Budget of 2016-17 and also that of Central government schemes. We need to take them to the people so that they can take benefits of those schemes," party spokesman Vinod Narayan Jha told reporters.

Party workers and leaders would propagate the schemes and provisions of Union Budget in order to put pressure on the state government for their implementation, he said.

The political resolution, moved by Nand Kishore Yadav, was passed while resolution on agriculture would be moved by Prem Kumar.

In its political resolution, the party, which suffered a humiliating defeat at the hands of JD(U)-RJD-Congress alliance, termed it as 'unnatural' and 'opportunist' alliance and expressed concern and displeasure that it has failed to live up to the expectations of the people.
